Amanda McAlister (left), the firm’s managing partner, said: ‘We are delighted to have Nicola’s expertise at McAlister Family Law and are pleased to welcome her to the team. She is highly regarded throughout the North West for her family law expertise, and her particular skill set complements our already extensive family law offering.
‘This is a significant hire for the business, and I am confident she will play a major role in the continued development of our Alderley Edge office.’
Nicola added: ‘This is a very exciting move is for me, as the firm continues its rapid growth and increasing dominance of the family law market in the region. Amanda’s reputation as a family lawyer is outstanding, and I really wanted to work with her and her team as they build something very special in the industry.’
